### Matrix and IRC
### Matrix and Discord

Our official chat rooms in [Matrix](https://app.element.io/#/room/#ipfs:matrix.org) and [IRC](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#ipfs) are bridged, so you can join
whichever you prefer. They can be used to ask questions and discuss with the community — however, while IPFS core developers are usually in these rooms, it can be hard to keep up with the running conversation and questions can be missed or disappear due to a lack of indexing. Therefore, we prefer the [forums](https://discuss.ipfs.io) for support questions, though you can still try the chats!
